Social Workers Involvement in the Barangay Health Programs in the Municipality of Pozorrubio
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Social Workers in Local Government Units
Abstract
The participation of social workers in the Municipality of Pozorrubio's barangay health initiatives is examined in this study. Both qualitative and quantitative methodologies were used to survey the respondents, who are municipal social workers (MSWs), in order to determine the difficulties they have when providing a range of health services. According to the findings, major issues that impede the efficient provision of health services to the community include a shortage of qualified personnel, a lack of funding, and inadequate buildings and equipment. These limitations have an impact on social workers' capacity to perform their jobs to the best of their abilities and the effectiveness of health programs. According to the findings, the report suggests actions to increase MSW participation in health programs, such as hiring and educating more qualified staff, obtaining greater funding, and expanding access to facilities and equipment. In order to guarantee the provision of efficient and long-lasting health services in Pozorrubio, these policies seek to enhance the role of social workers.
